Digital Indicator Selection: Combining the Essentials With Advanced Features
When modernizing or upgrading industrial or process equipment, you’re also likely replacing or upgrading traditional mechanical analog-based indicators. Digital indicators provide a clearer, more reliable way to convey operational or measurement data to operators and technicians, and tool and instrument vendors now offer a wide range of digital indicators suitable for any type of measurement. However, selecting the right indicator — no matter the use case — requires careful attention to the basics: accuracy, measurement ranges, durability and visibility. This blog post provides a rundown of digital indicators and the important specifications to look for according to their function.
Among the most common industrial digital indicator functions are frequency, temperature, voltage and current measurements. At Altech, we offer a varied lineup of digital indicators for each of these functions. Here is an overview:
● Frequency Indicators. Covering a wide 10 to 90 Hz range, these units work with 240V AC and 110V AC, and ensure operational stability for a wide range of industries.
● Temperature Indicators. Features include a wide measurement range of -50 to +80°C with high accuracy, support for NTC/molded sensors with a 1m standard wire length and IP65 front protection.
● Voltage Indicators. Altech voltage indicators measure 65 to 280V AC, 80 to 150V AC and 10 to 26V DC to support a diversity of applications. Their ±1% accuracy reliably prevents electrical failures.
● Current Indicators. These units support 0 to 100A (with CT) or 0A to 12A to help prevent equipment damage.
Altech Digital Indicators are appropriate in a wide range of industrial applications as well as renewable energy systems, medical devices and harsh operating environments.
Delivering the Basics and Leading-Edge Features
When installing new equipment, you’ll have no shortage of indicators to choose from. Although many will have a modern appearance, they must still deliver on accuracy, wide measurement ranges, durability and visibility. Altech’s new line of digital indicators feature ±1% precision, wide measurement ranges, IP65 protection, compact size and long-lasting, bright LED displays that are easy to see. This means machine designers and users across many applications can rely on their accuracy and effectiveness with confidence.
